Resumen del Editor

When a man dressed in a long priest’s robe and wearing a black, low-crowned, wide-brimmed ecclesiastical hat walked into a Catholic church just prior to the start of a funeral service, stuffed garlic into the deceased’s mouth, and pumped a bullet into the corpse, NYPD Homicide Detective Louis Martelli was as puzzled as he’s ever been on a case. No stranger to the macabre, Martelli is even more mystified by Deputy Coroner Michael Antonetti’s findings, which confirm that the deceased, far from having died of respiratory failure and a possible heart attack, was murdered by someone who injected him with a lethal dose of Philippine cobra venom.

When other, similar deaths are uncovered in and around New York City, the investigation conducted by Martelli and his partner, Detective Sean O’Keeffe, takes a decidedly morbid turn, leading to the discovery of a modern-day vampire cult, a woman named Lilith, and a serial killer with a score to settle.

Who is behind the killings, and can Martelli and O’Keeffe stop him before he kills his last victim and makes good his escape? The answers to these and other questions will be found in this gripping, modern-day tale of vampirism unlike any you have read.

A spooky mystery for Halloween

In this installment our erstwhile detective is less risqué and discriminatory than usual, as he investigates an apparent series of vampire slayings... the signature of a newly discovered serial killer.

The narrator is enthusiastic, but again foes some pretty annoying voices for some of the chat. (Fortunately not the main character!)

Tracking down this killer is another exciting adventure. Oh, and once again our detective is saved by his prosthetic leg!

I continue to enjoy this series.

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for a review.

Good

It was a good book. An easy to follow murder mystery. Enjoyed it. Good narration.

DETECTIVE MARTELLI DOES IT AGAIN!

I can't get enough of Detective Louis Martelli! This is the third book in the series I've read/listened to, and I just love them all. Love the author and narrator, and am on to #4! Definitely a series worth listening to, highly recommended. Pulls you in from beginning to end. Great stuff! :)
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Exciting!

The writer has a very vivid imagination that will keep you entertained. I even had a laugh or two at times. Detective Louis Martelli and his partner runs into a modern-day vampire cult trying to solve a murder. Throw in cobra venom and a snake and it will keep you listening to the end.

intriguing

This one is unique and quite intriguing. It grabbed my interest immediately and held it throughout. Suspenseful and entertaining. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job

Love This Character

I have read previous books by this author of the character detective Louis Martell. The murder mystery had an unusual means of death which proved most challenging for detective Louis Martell and his partner Sean O'Keefe. The dead were found with garlic in their mouths and seemed to have died by heart attacks, but that was not the cause of death.

I like these books by Mr. Cohen. The flow is smooth and quick, which kept my interest. The narrator Gregg Rizzoli voiced the characters well. His usage of different accents and voices and intonation of emotions made this book with which listen.

Interesting

The story was more funny than horror, in my opinion. The narrator was good. This is my honest, unbiased review that I am leaving here voluntarily. I received this book for free upon my request, but it has no bearing on my review.

A Wild Ride

This high action detective story will keep you entertained. Have some patients with the beginning where the storyline dragged and the dialog seemed forced. Also, the reader seemed a little too enthusiastic. However, all aspects of the story quickly mesh into an imaginative, exciting story.

good book

good book. I'd listen to another by this author. good book I'd listen to another

Interesting dectective novel with a combat veteran

The story is interesting. It starts a little slow, but that gave me time to get to know some of the characters, which I appreciated. I loved that the main character was a combat veteran and that the book accurately referenced things that wouldn't have been known by a normal Joe on the streets.

The character interactions were relatable and charming, and there were just enough twists to the evidence to keep my interest piqued.

And the ending was great! Overall, this was an excellent afternoon read!
